Mimosa pudica
As the name suggests when touched these compound leaves fold and close.The leaves also close during night time and reopen in the morning.It has pink color flowers which look like powder puffs.these flowers are pollinated by insects such as bees and also wind.
got plenty of them growing in my backyard.
not just similar....the same. this plant is native to central america where I live. However your fotos are astonishing compared to mine. Great job!
